Titus 3 Today's English Version 9 But avoid stupid arguments, long lists of ancestors, quarrels, and fights about the Law. They are useless and worthless. GOD'S WORD Translation 9 Avoid foolish controversies, arguments about genealogies, quarrels, and fights about Moses' Teachings. This is useless and worthless. 10 Have nothing to do with people who continue to teach false doctrine after you have warned them once or twice. Notice verse 10. How interesting! How applicable! ------------------------------------------------- "Titus 3:9 is more about quibbling about issues of law than anything else . . . Any how it would be directly about the law..." If verse 9 is only about issues of the Law, what does that mean? Is it OK to have stupid arguments, quarrels and fights about anything and everything else, as long as they are not quarrels over the Law? (Compare 2 Tim 2:23.) |

JVH, you're up to your usual "stunts" of giving us something worthwhile to ponder over. I'm glad you added verse 10 to verse 9 of Titus 3 in your answer. And in verse 11 Paul calls this "factious man" perverted, a sinner, and self-condemned. Paul came down hard on teachers of false doctrine, didn't he? I mean he called a spade a spade, certainly pulled no punches, and couldn't have cared less about being socially or politically correct. All of which leads one to wonder, Are Christians, those in the pew and those in the pulpit, too soft on false teaching lest they offend the delicate feelings of someone or be accused of bigotry and right-wing religious extremism? Yes, it is something to ponder over. It's something we'd better ponder over. --Hank | ||||||
